Divine Mercy Sunday is a very special
Sunday when the Divine Floodgates from
Heaven are wide-opened and Jesus offers
us the total forgiveness of all sins and
punishment to any soul, who goes to
Confession and receives Him in Holy Communion, on
that day. This plenary indulgence is granted (under the
usual conditions of a sacramental confession, Eucharistic
communion and a prayer for the intentions of the
Supreme Pontiff) to the faithful who, on Divine Mercy
Sunday, in a spirit that is completely detached from the
affection for a sin, even a venial sin, recite the Our Father
and the Creed, and also adding a devout prayer (e.g.
Merciful Jesus, I trust in you!).
On Divine Mercy Sunday, our three communities come
together as one parish in a tri-lingual celebration that will
focus on the virtue of trust starting at 3:00 p.m.
Confessions will be heard by our three priests beginning
at 2:00 p.m. This celebration includes Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament, a sung recitation of the Divine Mercy
Chaplet, alternating readings from Pope Francis on the
Year of Mercy and Saint Faustina’s Diary, and a blessing
of Divine Mercy images. Don't miss out on the many
blessings the devotion to Divine Mercy has to offer
everyone. Come and join us!

Palm Sunday - Holy Land Collection
Pray Them Home Ministry
All Masses - This Weekend
The Pray Them Home meeting originally scheduled
for Thursday, March 24, has been cancelled due to the
Holy Thursday Mass of Our Lord's Supper.
Our next and final meeting for the year will be on
Thursday, April 28, at 7:00 p.m. in the Spiritual Life
Center. Please consider joining us because we need lots of
“prayer warriors” to pray for those who are in need of
returning to the Catholic faith. For questions or to add
someone to our prayer list, please contact Denise Dale at
770-827-6810. The Pray Them Home ministry welcomes
new members at any time.
On Palm Sunday, our parish is called on to support
Christians in the Holy Land. As a pontifical collection
requested by Pope Francis, the annual Palm Sunday
collection offers a direct link for parishioners to be
witnesses of peace and to help protect the Holy Places.
When you donate on Palm Sunday, you are supporting
Christians in the Holy Land.
Please use your parish envelopes and drop them off
either in the offertory, at the parish office, or you may
donate online.

(Urban Way of the Cross), sponsored by the Archdiocese
of Atlanta Justice & Peace Ministries is scheduled for
Friday, March 25 from 9 a.m to 12 p.m. This multilingual

Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
Domingo 3 de Abril
La Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia se
celebra en la Octava de Pascua (el
domingo después de la Pascua), es
una fiesta relativamente nueva en el
calendario litúrgico romano. La
celebración de la Divina Misericordia
de Jesús fue revelada a Santa María
Faustina Kowalska. Esta fiesta fue
extendida a toda la Iglesia por el Santo Padre Juan Pablo
II el 30 de abril del 2,000, el día en que Santa Faustina fue
canonizada. Durante su vida Jesús se reveló muchas veces
a Santa Faustina y le pidió en numerosas ocasiones que
una fiesta dedicada a la Divina Misericordia fuera
celebrada el domingo después de la Pascua. Los textos
litúrgicos de ese día, el segundo domingo de Pascua,
tienen que ver con la institución del Sacramento de la
Penitencia, el tribunal de la misericordia, o sea que ya
todo estaba predispuesto para ese día según lo pedido por
Nuestro Señor. La voluntad del Señor fue dada a conocer
en la primera revelación a la santa, como dice en
su diario. En total fueron 14 revelaciones conciernientes
a esta fiesta.
La fiesta incluye la veneración pública de la Imagen de la
Divina Misericordia, así como actos personales de
misericordia. La gran promesa para las almas que
practiquen esta devoción es que el que reciba la
Confesión y la recepción de la Sagrada Comunión
obtendrá una indulgencia plenaria en la Fiesta de la
Divina Misericordia. Rezaremos la coronilla de la Divina
Misericordia a las 3:00 p.m. ese día; Monseñor Joe, Fr.
João and Fr. Jaime escucharán confesiones en inglés,
portugués y español a las 2:30 p.m. No te pierdas las
muchas bendiciones que nos brinda esta devoción a la
Divina Misericordia. ¡Acompáñanos ese día!

A importância da Confissão
“Filha, quando vieres ao pé dessa fonte da Minha
Misericórdia, que é a Santa Confissão, verte sempre na
tua alma o Sangue e a Água que saíram do Meu Coração,
e enobrece-a. Quando vieres à Confissão, deves saber que
sou Eu mesmo quem espera por ti no confessionário; oculto-Me
no sacerdote, mas sou Eu próprio quem atua na alma. É
aí que a miséria da alma se encontra com o Deus da
Misericórdia. Diz ainda às almas que dessa fonte da
Misericórdia apenas colhem Graças com o vaso da
confiança. E, se for grande a confiança delas, a Minha
generosidade não terá limites. As torrentes da Minha
Graça inundam as almas humildes. Os orgulhosos hão de
permanecer na penúria e na miséria, porquanto a graça se
afasta deles em direção aos humildes.” (D. 1602).
“A Festa da Misericórdia saiu das Minhas entranhas.
Desejo que seja celebrada solenemente no primeiro
domingo depois da Páscoa.” (D. 699)
